Primary Magic: Gaia's Fist
Secondary Magic: (Must be filled in later. Magic you bought at the store goes here)
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: Gaia's Fist is what one can say is a martial artist's take on magic, and it is used to manipulate all matters of earth from dirt, stone, crystals, and even impure metals given the user is strong enough to do so. As one may guess, this magic focuses quite a lot upon the user in terms of further empowering their fighting prowess, but it is not to be taken as completely close ranged because it also employs ranged attacks intent on hindering an opponent, attempting to incapacitate their ability to fight back against the user's melee onslaught but also to lessen their ability to use magic. It is a magic that works as hard as the user, further taking traits from Martial Arts in saying that only through more training and mastery shall both grow.

Minh uses this magic through subtle movements of his body connecting with the earth like a small stomp of the foot for example. Though the targeting of ranged spells depend upon mostly his visual sight of a target, the man can only use his other senses as well to generalize an area to strike which is not something too different from him fighting blind back at the monastery. He also can do the same with more aggressive motions and even battle cries, usually a combination of both.

Strengths:

• Increased Durability - Due to the fact that the earth under Minh's control scales in strength as he does, it makes said earth potentially many times more tougher than their original forms.
  

• Synergy - As it was the purpose of this magic, it works well with his marital arts to produce an effective combating style.
  

• Available resources - Earth is literally everywhere and in different forms around the world, making it rarely scarce to Minh.
  

Weaknesses:

• Flying Targets - Even with a few countermeasures, flying targets and to a degree air mages, make very annoying targets for Minh.
  

• Limited Healing - While his defenses and stamina are superb, Minh has not much healing if anything at all.
  

• Intangible Targets - Targets which take to utilizing an incorporeal form pose as a major threat because they can't be damage by physical means as well as being a huge pain.
  

• Limited Damage Range - Most of this magic's damage is quite physical with not many options for magical damage, requiring Minh to probably acquire a secondary that will provide such a solution to this problem.
  

Lineage: Shinigami Protection:
Description: The Gods of death, the Shinigami control the afterlife; sending each spirit to its rightful destination, while making sure that everyone dies at the right time. Every person has their own unique Shinigami. Occasionally, a Shinigami will develop a bond with a living mortal, and will assist them to the best of their abilities when they are most needed; sometimes lending the mortal their powers at the cost of their life span.
Ability: The user is able to summon the help from their Shinigami in battle or to assist them solving a dangerous solution.  
Usage: Shinigamis cannot kill or fatally wound enemies, but can take what would be a fatal blow, or give their bound user time to act. The Shinigami will assist the user for five posts, and can only be summoned once per thread.

Unique Abilities:

Gaia's Monk - Minh has a stronger physique than most mages, granting him 10% to all his physical stats including things like stamina, strength, and durability, and due to this intense conditioning, he has the ability to regain his strength faster as well, a 1% hp and magic power regeneration. Taking upon the various aspects of certain kinds of earth, he gains a 10% overall damage resistance, applying to attacks on his mind and soul. This scales with an increase of 5% with each ranking up with only 1% increase to the regeneration. (This is way too big for on ability. You'll need to split the damage reduction, regeneration and stats up into different abilities. The numbers on the other hand are fine. )

Earthen Force Reversal - Earth magic under Minh's control is weightless to him as if it was part of him, but opponents would still feel the twice that much weight. Meaning attacks with his earth spells have much more force packing behind them. This bonus ranks up along with him, C would give it quadruple, B would give it 8x, etc. This applies to all earth magic that is tied to him with magical spells packing more punch and physical ones possessing exponentially more weight. (If this is a damage increase, this will all be a big no. Damage boost can only max out at double and that with very high requirements. Please elaborate if this increase the damage of attacks or the force of the knock back.)

Earth Drifter - Like some who are attuned to the earth, he is able to sink into the earth and travel about through it as well, popping out of the ground in an upright position at his new destination. Though he cannot dig through metal, that is more for those who use phasing. He is capable of doing this with surprising speed, allowing him to position himself about the battlefield where it is to his advantage, it is also one of his few ways of closing the gap between opponents. (This will need a duration and a cool-down, but can stay as an ability, though not a passive one.)

Spells:

Name: Limbs Of Crushing Earth
Rank: D
Type: Earth Offensive
Duration: 3
Cooldown: 4
Description: By clapping his hands together or bumping his fists together, Minh conjures spiritual earth to coat his forearms and forelegs with a thin, but incredibly dense layer of material. Each piece weighs around 30 pounds for a total of 120 lbs added to his overall weight, and the result is that Minh's strikes can now deal 1 full C-rank damage as well as hit intangible foes due to the spiritual nature of the spell. Each limb can withstand two D-Rank direct spells and will shatter upon reaching its limit but still clings to him. Upon being broken, Minh can do one last maneuver with the shattered armaments which is him sending the broken shards of earth at foes through punches or kicks that can hone in on a target. Each armament deals up to 2 D-Rank Damage if all the shards hit a person for a potentially final output of 8 D-Rank damage. (Sorry, this damage is way too much. All your strikes can only do D-rank damage per hit. And one of the shards can only do 0.5 D-rank damage.)

Strengths:

• High Close-Quarters Damage Potential
  

• Can be very effective against an opponent with little ways of countering such an assault
  

• Makes the user much more heavy, making it harder to knock him down
  

Weaknesses:

• Flying targets render most of this spell useless
  

• Rather agile and elusive targets will make it hard fully utilizing the spell as well
  

• Requires Minh to come close to an opponent
  

(One more weakness please)

Name: Earthen Drop'n'Trap
Rank: D
Type: Earth Offensive
Duration: 2
Cooldown: 3
Description: With a light stomp of his foot, Minh can cause ground underneath an opponent up to 30m(Change to 15m) away to sink into a 5ft hole with a 5 ft radius(Change the word radius to area of effect), and at the same time, the earth around them would rise up in a liquidized manner to envelop and pull them in. Because of the spell's nature, it can potentially also incapacitate multiple foes. The earth also applies a crushing pressure upon those caught by it, especially those fully enveloped Opponents with their bodies covered will suffering crushing damage for 2 D-Rank damage each post while ones who have only limbs trapped will suffer 1 D-Rank damage to that limb. After the duration, the earth returns to normal, but it would require trapped mages to dig out and remove the earth covering them.
(Please lower the 2 D-rank damage to 1 and the 1 D-rank damage to 0.5)
Note: This can be used on the side of walls and from the ceiling with the same effect minus the trapping in the shallow hole.

Strengths:

• Effective Disabling Spell that can render an opponent unable to do much
  

• Acts as a countermeasure for his lack of ranged options
  

• Gives Minh an opening which to take advantage of
  

Weaknesses:

• Limited form of disabling
  

• Doesn't do much damage as it requires Minh taking advantage of the situation to do so
  

• A good timed wind spell could blow away the debris before they converge upon a person, though this is something quite hard to accomplish
  

(As one more weakness, say that C-rank mages are trapped for 1 post, all other higher ranked aren't trapped at all, but still take one post worth of damage.)

Name: Earthquake Shout
Rank: D
Type: Earth Offensive
Duration: 1/2/4
Cooldown: 2
Description: Minh takes a breath and unleashes a seemingly silent battle cry to create a changeable shockwave of unstable earth magic in a 15 ft radius traveling at 15 m/s / 25 ft 160 degree frontal cone 20 traveling at m/s / 1 ft diameter spherical bullet traveling at 40 m/s. The duration varies according to which form of this spell has an enemy been hit by. (Please explain the second one more, it seems to be slightly worded wrong. Change the word radius to area of effect. Please add a range in meters to all of them.)

The effects are not seen or known until it lands a hit on someone. When it does, a violent surge of magic is sent into the opponent's body, vibrating them with chaotic force followed by a sound like thunder that echoes in their ears and head. This can cause nausea, headache, disorientation, convolutions, seizures, and can cause internal damage. Those affected are also thrown back a few meters by the first two variations with the third literally slamming into an opponent. This can bypass armor to a degree, depending if it can transfer such magic. (Please remove nausea, headache, convolutions, seizures and internal damage. It would be too powerful if causing all of those as a D-rank.)

1st Variation: 1/2 D-Rank damage for duration (Which of the durations is this?)

2nd Variation: 1 D-Rank damage for duration

3rd Variation: 2 D-Rank damage for duration, 1 for impact upon hit (0.5 on duration)

Strengths:

• Can weaken foes or disable them for enough time for Minh to land a critical blow
  

• Serves as another manner in which he can leave foes with openings
  

• Can effect even intangible foes and leave extremely agile ones in deep trouble
  

Weaknesses:

• It is not a skill that can deal too much damage but focuses on disabling
  

• It can be nullified by armor or spell that block magic or those that have resistances against Earth Magic.
  
  

• Earth Slayers can resist this spell to a degree due to their elemental resistances
  
  

(One more weakness.)

Name: Pillars of Rocky Surprise
Rank: D
Type: Earth Offensive
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 4

Description: Like with another one of his spells, Minh stomps the ground lightly once, but this time, he creates 3 pillars of iron-hard earth to erupt from the ground(walls or ceiling as well) to slam into an opponent, ranging from a large pillar with a 1m diameter to a smaller one that can also serve as a projectile. It can be tipped or blunt to deal according damage, and Minh can also use this to launch himself into the air to dodge an attack or to close the distance between him and an opponent as well as attack. With a well-timed jump, he can throw himself at flying enemies as well. The range in which he can cast this is 30m. (Change the range to 15 feet and range to are of effect.) Each pillar does 2 D-Rank damage and can be used further by Minh. If he touches a pillar, he can pull some of its mass into his hands to form a 1 ft diamater sphere of liquefied earth that he can launch at someone at 30 m/s which does 1 D-Rank damage but also sticks to the opponent like glue, weighing them down while disabling them further. 9 pillars at a time can be on the field, and anymore conjured will cause the three earliest to crumble. (Overall this spell has way too many effect. Please remove the liquid sphere one. Then explain the jump boost a little and how strong it is. Change the damage from 2 D-rank to 1 D-rank.)

Strengths:

• Another means of dealing ranged damage and to further give him mobility for his melee abilities
  

• The instant effect of the spell can be quite crucial against agile targets
  

• A second countermeasure for those pesky fliers as it provides a good number of more ranged attacks.
  

Weaknesses:

• Defensive shields can impend this spell for a while, blocking most of it, potentially all
  

• The long CD of this can be a problem when the situation calls for range
  

• The damage is still physical and can be hindered by the same weaknesses that counter it

Primary Magic: Gaia's Almighty Executor
Secondary Magic: (Must be filled in later. Magic you bought at the store goes here)
Caster or Holder: Caster
Description: An art refined from Minh's original form of magic, Gaia's Almighty Executor is the Earth Dragon Slayer magic granted upon him by a dragon of crystal who approached him with a message from Gaia herself. Whatever this message was will never be known, but the result of what the magic did to Minh was very clear. Embracing the earth and its energies, the young man has now become its very embodiment, and with it, greater powers beyond his imagining.

Minh uses this magic through subtle movements of his body connecting with the earth like a small stomp of the foot for example. Though the targeting of ranged spells depend upon mostly his visual sight of a target, the man can only use his other senses as well to generalize an area to strike which is not something too different from him fighting blind back at the monastery. He also can do the same with more aggressive motions and even battle cries, usually a combination of both. Sometimes it can even be from his own will that spells happen.

Strengths:

• Devastating Melee - As the magic implies, Minh is a juggernaut up close where he is capable of delivering hammering blows that can crush all to dust.
  

• Synergy - As it was the purpose of this magic, it works well with his marital arts to produce an effective combating style.
  

• Available resources - Earth is literally everywhere and in different forms around the world, making it rarely scarce to Minh.
  
  

Weaknesses:

Usage: Shinigamis cannot kill or fatally wound enemies, but can take what would be a fatal blow, or give their bound user time to act. The Shinigami will assist the user for five posts, and can only be summoned once per thread.

Unique Abilities:

Everlasting Earth - Minh has gained a transcended, elemental form that is the physical manifestation of the core attributes of earth, and as such, the young man looks like a man carved from stone. Enduring, mighty, unyielding, and stable are among the attributes that this new body embodies. One such perk is whenever he is damaged, his earthen form would reform back together, becoming almost liquid as it reshapes itself. (1% HP regen per post with 1% increase per rank up till S rank = 5%)

Unyielding Mountain - Minh's earthen body is capable of standing up to all the harshest climates that the world has to offer, and it is capable of feats of endurance that only a true warrior of earth can accomplish. No matter what the obstacle, he will stand defiant and unrelenting. (15% Damage Reduction from all sources, 5% increase per rank up to 30% maximum.)

The Eternal Warrior - Minh is not only unyielding to the harshness of the world, he has adapted to it in all ways, but the most noticeable is his heightened capability of withstanding damage. So much so that he is able to endure lengthy episodes of combat or ungodly journeys through deadly lands should he choose to do so. (20% increase to maximum HP)

Spells:

Name: Land Shark
Rank: D
Type: Earth Utility
Duration: 3
Cooldown: 4
Description: By merely stomping his foot or by his own mind's will, Minh can enter a state in which he can move through earth as fast as he could move on ground. And he would be able to sink into the earth and walk into earthen structures like it was not even there, but he will not be able to pass through metals. Roots and to a degree, wooden obstacles will be passable as well. (15m radius in any direction before Minh has to come up only to resume doing so. Basically, no swimming to the core of the earth)

Strengths:

• Movement option allowing travel through earthy obstacles of all kinds.
  

• Can assist in keeping Minh close to opponent, or sneaking up on them
  
  

• Allows Minh to take refuge into the earth in order to avoid something deadly
  

Weaknesses:

• Non-offensive
  

• Cannot use this on allies, leaving them to deal with whatever obstacle is in the way
  

• Is practically unusable in metallic structures or those with specific restraints
  

• Serves only as a utility spell as there is no real way this spell can cause harm
  

Name: Earthwalker
Rank: D
Type: Earth Utility
Duration: 3
Cooldown: 4
Description: With a stomp of the foot or a use of will, Minh will be able to move up structures connected to the earth, or in another sense structures that are on the ground from buildings to things like trees are included. When Minh starts rushing up a surface like a wall, he will change his center of gravity as well corresponding to the wall. He will do this on the fly to keep him stabilized, even in the heat of combat. (Maximum height he can walk 90 degrees up is around 6 stories in terms of building size. Ceilings this high count at the max as well.)

Strengths:

• Allows Minh more options for movement
  

• Can allow Minh to attack from different angles 
  

• Can allow Minh a way of escaping a situation
  

Weaknesses:

• Utility spell that doesn't work in anyway to cause harm, only benefit Minh.
  

• No damage
  
  

• If there are no structures in sight, this spell is useless
  

• C-Ranks are only caught for one turn while higher ranks are not trapped but do suffer damage if they are not careful
  

Name: Gaia's Acceleration
Rank: D
Type: Earth Utility
Duration: 3
Cooldown: 4
Description: Likewise with the other utility spells in how it is activated, Gaia's Acceleration works in helping Minh by allowing him to move his body at full speed without having to build up speed or momentum while on ground. This does not mean slowing magic will not affect him or anything like that, and this does mean that if he is off the ground, this enhancement will not work.

Strengths:

• Allows Minh to do things much faster overall
  
  

• Help increase his mobility
  

• Allowing him to deal with agile opponents more easier
  

Weaknesses:

• No Damage
  

• Utility spell only
  
  

• Useless while in the air
  
  

• Slowing magic still affects Minh and will make this spell useless
  

Name: Earthen Transmission 
Rank: D
Type: Earth Utility
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 3

Description: Minh with a stomp or force of will can instantly transmit himself from one position to another one as far as 20m away through the earth to any other area connected to it. Which means that if the opponent is on a large floating platform, Minh cannot transmit himself onto there. This transmitting works with him sinking immediately into the ground as if it was water before reappear rising up at his new position.

Strengths:

• Can be a means to close the distance on an opponent
  
  

• Another form of movement that can be very useful
  
  

• An escape tool
  
  

Weaknesses:

• No damage
  
  

• Utility spell only
  
  

• If there is a chasm in between him and his opponent, he won't be able to cross it as he would also have to move all the way down to the bottom then back up which is impossible.
  

• Use in the air is impossible

(For every 2% MP he sacrifices, 1% HP is healed, and this ability has a 5 post CD)

Gaia's Unbreakable Barrier - Minh's body forms a thin, incredibly dense layer of earth around him which acts as a first line of defense against attacks that is breakable via dealng 2 spell damage equal to Minh's rank excluding physical attack or enhanced physical attacks(elemental or otherwise). Physical attacks are reduced by 25% until it is broken, and upon being broken, it will take 5 posts to regenerate (This CD increases by 1 per rank up.)
